The Everything Princess Book

Hold onto your puffy sleeves and tiaras
– THIS is a Princess book to outshine them all.

With 101 crafts, recipes, stories,
decorations and more inside a lush, pink-and-gold embossed hardcover book, this
spiral-bound compendium will have your own princess swooning before s/he’s even
turned a page. Although unashamedly catering to girls, some little boys – if
given the opportunity - will also enjoy this book which fosters empowering
values like intelligence, problem solving and inner beauty.

Divided into sections with fairy tales,
princess recipes, games, virtues, activities and ‘heaps of charming tips on how to befit your royalty (and handle your
fairy godmother),’ there are literally hours of frilly entertainment to be
had from within the pages of this book.

The idea and intent are happy, magical
and uplifting – however I’m glad that I will not be the parent who needs to
interpret some of the recipes (‘cook your cupcakes in little china teacups,’
proclaims one!). My own personal
princess was more into gumboots in her heyday than tulle. Perhaps a Princess
Masterchef is in order?

This book will no doubt be shared and
enjoyed by princesses and would-be queens, the world over. This is a sure bet
choice for a special occasion, or just because.
